EVENT: BITE ME! Toronto International Body Image Film & Arts Festival
Could you spot the 'perfect' penis if you saw it? Does Female Sexual Dysfunction really exist or is it a cheating partner taking the "Oh" out of many women's orgasms? The 2nd annual BITE ME! Toronto International Body Image Film & Arts Festival, running July 8 - July 10 at the National Film Board, has some answers. "Everybody has a story. BITE ME! explores challenges and redefines how we and others perceive our bodies through experiences of the provocative and the every day," says festival director and founder, Jill Andrew. "Moving beyond pathologizing bodies, our festival explores what our bodies do for us, how our bodies...our identities come to matter in our very diverse and complex lives," says Andrew. Opening the festival is award- winning Canadian filmmaker Katrin Bowen's Amazon Falls. Other compelling features include GEN SILENT and The KCLPAS Story both exploring the experiencing of LGBTQ seniors facing discrimination at the hands of their care providers; Africa Rising, Pink Saris and Confessions of a Superhero.

Katrina: Shooting On A Nude Beach Was Funny!
It is raining outside and Katrina Kaif says that on rainy days she feels like "cuddling up in bed and watching movies, or playing in the rain -- what I don't feel like doing is working!" Or worrying about a leaking flat. Like most Mumbaikars at this time of year, Katrina says, "My house is leaking very badly. It is a seven-floor building and I live on the top floor. My living room has been leaking and I had to move all the furniture to one side and it makes me angry."
Come rain or leaking roofs, the show must go on, so she settles down to telling Patcy N about her forthcoming film Zindagi Na Milege Dobara, her opinion of her three male co-stars, and shooting on a nude beach in Spain....

Diary Of A Nudist (1961)
Diary of a Nudist is a 1961 American film directed by Doris Wishman. The film is also known as Diary of a Girl Reporter, Diary of a Naturist, Girl Reporter Diary, Nature Camp Confidential, Nature Camp Diary and Nudist Confidential.
Newspaper editor Arthur Sherwood is on a hunting trip when he accidentally stumbles upon a nudist camp in the woods. He is very much shocked by this and decides to send reporter Stacy Taylor to the camp so she can write an expose on the camp and have it shut down. However, much to her surprise, Stacy finds that she enjoys the nudist lifestyle and writes some very positive articles on her experiences, which doesn't sit well with Arthur. Arthur then decides to join the camp himself and write his own story.
The Raw Ones (1965)
Nudist camp documentaries were really in vogue from the late 50's up until the mid 60's. This particular entry holds the distinction of being one of the few that boasts both male and female nudity alike, meaning that there's something for everyone in this flick. We get to see guys and gals in their birthday suits jump rope, work out with weights, snap each other with towels, frolic in a pool, eat watermelon, play tennis, bounce up and down on a trampoline, ride skateboards, and generally have fun sans clothes. Meanwhile, ubiquitous 70's trailer voice guy Ron Gans tackles narrator chores with his trademark hearty aplomb; he prattles on constantly about modesty vs. immodesty, the positive virtues of erotic literature, and the damaging psychological effects of wearing clothes. Moreover, we also hear some dubious facts about nudists (they are actually very ethical people and a majority of them are married). This film gets pretty preachy with its anti-censorship ranting and of course goes heavy on advocating freedom and independence. The bright hand-held color cinematography by Jack Hill and Robert Wilson gives the picture an attractive sunny look. The stock library score of canned classical music adds a nice respectable touch. An amusing piece of nudie cutie fluff.

Nude Not

Televised on Canal+ in France, Switzerland, Monaco and Mauritius in 2001 and screened at many film festivals. A short film by Thomas Lundy of Lundoxia Pictures.
Bollywood takes on the censors with explicit film
SHOULD Kaushik Mukherjee's film Asshole - with its full-frontal male and female nudity, expletive-laden dialogue, angry rap soundtrack and off-colour title - seem like a bold venture, wait for his next trick.
In two weeks, the Bengali darling of the international film festival circuit will return to his home town, Kolkata, to battle India's censors for the right to show his story of youthful malcontent in the nation's cinemas.
It's a timely challenge, given the Indian parliament is set to debate the 93-year-old Cinematograph Act in the monsoon session of parliament next month... Read More.

Léo is dragged to a nudist camping resort by his mother. Like most boys at the age of 12 or 13, being nude in public holds little appeal for Léo, who protests by wearing extra layers. Until he meets a certain special girl, who captures his heart and releases his inhibitions.
A very fine short film written by Jean-Julien Chervier. It's a story of a woman who brings her son to a vacation spot at a nudist camp. The boy, played by Marc Beffa, shows he is a lot wiser that most folks would perceive him to be, as he faces a life challenge of knowing the right thing to do when he meets one of the other female tourists at the camp and the two find themselves on a path to a budding romance. The lead female, played by Geraldine Martineau, is nude through most of this film, although Geraldine is indeed an adult so no controversy in that department. Trivia: Geraldine, it is understood, was well into her 20s when she played her role in this film 2009.
Basically the film is about the main character overcoming fears that have haunted him up until that visit to the camp, and the 'thawing out,' as the title implies, reveals in the boy someone about to become a very responsible yet gentle young man who realizes the importance of a well- thought out decision with respects to folks around him.
Nicely filmed in the hills of France, with the participation of Arte France Television and the Center of National Cinematography, and backed by the Aquitaine Region and the Department of Health, you are assured that this short film was produced under strict guidelines and regulations in order to insure that all was done in accordance to laws and proper procedure. La Fonte des Neiges has aired on French national television and has toured the French and U.S. film festivals.
La Fonte des Neiges is one of the very rare naturist-nudist based films where a good sense of responsibility is exhibited at a time when romance sets in and represents a potentially consequential proposition.
